DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late-May events in Ascott-under-Wychwood have light until about 9:00pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:30pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
